Andalucía High Court has reduced sentencing for the 22 year old man, Francisco M.P.P., found guilty earlier this year of the murder of a teenager who was stabbed while trying to break up a fight in Benalmadena’s Plaza Solymar two years ago.The accused was found guilty at a trial by jury this May and sentenced to 17 years in prison.The High Court has however ruled, in a decision published by La Opinión de Málaga this Tuesday, that there was no premeditation in the fatal stabbing, reducing Francisco M.P.P.’s sentence to 13 years behind bars and finding him guilty of the lesser charge of homicide.17 year old José Pedro Fernández died at 6am on 18th November 2007 when he was stabbed in the heart outside a Benalmádena disco. Another suspect in his death, who was just hours away from his 18th birthday when the crime was committed, was found not guilty by a juvenile court.
